Ontology authoring is a non-trivial task for authors who are not proficient in logic. It is difficult to either specify the requirements for an ontology, or test their satisfaction. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to address this problem by leveraging the ideas of competency questions and test-before software development. We first analyse real-world competency questions collected fro...
